Chant


Chaos in the friendly skies
Liberty did shield her eyes
And this was one day like any other
Before a brother betrayed another

Woman trembling cold and pale
Taken through the daily mail
But this was one life that should have mattered
Before the circuits of death were scattered

This was one of a series
A chain of events
Delivered in silence
It doesn't make sense

Children dancing in the street
Flaming banner at their feet
And this was one complicated vision
Of an unavailing decision

This was one for the register
Slipping of time
When the more you deplete us
The higher we climb
Yes, the higher we climb

First one falls and then there's two
The colors bleeding red, white, blue
But humanity cannot replace
The victims in the fall from grace

Again the chant, again
Again the chant, again
Again the chant, again
Again the chant, again

 

Seconds


Young boy hiding in a locker room
A pencil in his hand
Grinding circles into the wall
He doesn’t understand
Why the others treat him as invisible
Or they punch him with their smiles
He dreams of a place where there is no shade
A platform to be seen for miles

Close your eyes
Let the moments pass
Like sand grain seconds
Through an hourglass

Young boy climbing to a desert high
A message in his hand
Tracing circles around the clouds
His destiny is planned
Would the airwaves choke when it made the news?
Would the television sigh?
Ghost reporters in a bitter sun
Taking lessons in the way to die

Better to forget than to comprehend
Imagination colliding with real
Gone without a trace from an empty place
Leaving nothing sacred, nothing to reveal

Damon dancing into the light
A microphone in his hand
Turning circles across the stage
They move to his command
And the audience doesn’t know about that day
When he gambled with the sacred breath
But his blood runs sober as the curtains fall
Like the sand upon the face of death

Better to remember and memorize
Every motion that carried you here
Couldn’t change the time only your state of mind
As the scars upon your spirit disappear

When your world begins to fray
When the rules refuse to play
Somewhere there is promise for another serving
When the soul begins to bleed
A moment is all you need
Long enough to feel the weight of your decision
Hesitate and regain your vision
Seconds separate you from the fall

Save a moment

 

Oxygen


I am your air, your life support
Under care of every breath you're making
Only here, where the signs appear
Do I fear that the bonds are breaking

Oxygen
The cornerstone in the pit of men
Mightier than the perfect pen
And on occasion assemble when you breathe

I'm in the cell, the molecule
I can tell when you're allocating
Heaven sent to your element
Monument to the innocent
My intent is to represent
Complement when all is dissipating

Oxygen
The cradle for every citizen
Regenerating the specimen
A pure invasion delivered when you breathe

 


Satellite

Yesterday an audience of one
No distortion or imperfect harmony
But today I stand, staring at the sun
Ever blinded by celestial naivety

A message sent, and no reply
Did you receive the last transmission Loud and clear?
I'm standing by
Just waiting for a sign beyond this atmosphere
Communicate conditions
Occupy this common frequency
And save me from uncertainty

I can feel your absence, cold like steel
Twisting gently from a distant place
As the stages fall away, reveal
Every question, every disappointed face

A signal flare into the sky
And it was bright enough for anyone to see
How did it die
Without a hope, without a possibility?
My satellite in silence
Orbiting where no one can relate
Is this the disconnection date?

Waiting for the distant star to fall

No telescope, no ship to fly
And I have nothing left but virtuality
The naked eye
Can never justify with objectivity
Reception interrupted
Images dissolve upon the screen
What does it mean?
Detection fading with pure ambiguity
Don't dignify
This is goodbye

 

Someone Is You

I remember the days
Before you entered my shores
I was strong in my ways
Had my own to live for
I was invincible
Or so it would seem
Until I lay down my head
And woke up in a dream

I could harness the skies
I could fly without wing
But if you looked into my eyes
You could read everything
An image of unity
In the face of alone
Always challenging fate
If only I had known

That I needed someone to believe in me
When I don't believe myself
Someone to have faith in me
When I lose faith in someone else
And I need someone to speak for me
When an answer is due
Someone, that someone is you

Undiscovered and strange
These emotions so bare
But with each sign of change
Something always stood there
The need for a hero
A delicate clue
Didn't know I was lost
Until I found you

And all I need is someone to pray for me
When I haven't a prayer
Someone to breathe me life
When I'm gasping for air
And I need someone to love me
When forever is through
Someone, that someone is you
Someone, that someone is you
Someone, that someone is you

Utopia

When the world outside is cold
Visitation to days of old
Images of once before
Held behind a clever door
Revelations intertwined
With episodes unkind

And every fear
Will disappear
When you are here

If I ask, I shall receive
An invitation to make-believe
Showing nightly in a dream
One recurring theme

On holiday
From what they say
No mission gray
So let's pretend
Time has no end
For one more day

Utopia is a moment at your side
When perfect possibilities are open wide

Boy and girl beneath our skin
Pleading us to let them in
Delicate in every sense
Hidden from present-tense

A game to play
In our own way
No time decay
Anticipate
It's not too late
For yesterday

Utopia is eternity you share
Make a trip to the other side
And my heart will linger there

Utopia is the laughter in your skies
Where I'm ascending
Every time I close my eyes

Utopia is the color of your mind
Where the shades of reality
Are simply left behind

Cliche


You set my heart on fire
Filled me with sweet desire
Burning passion and delight
But the flame you started
Suddenly departed
Now I'm searching alone in the night

When did all the words between us fail to captivate?
Lines become so tired until there's nothing new to state
Spread like a cancer that we could not isolate
Did the passages reveal our fate?

You were my one and only
No more feeling lonely
Every second of the day
But then the times were changing
Never rearranging
The love we felt so true had gone astray

When did we forget to keep our gaze upon the sky?
Searching along the ground with a customary eye
Love so predictable and we never questioned why
Did the promises we made begin to die?

Commonplaces
Familiar faces
Subtle traces
Cold embraces

When did every loving phrase become so obsolete?
Imagination like a path beneath our feet
Only a formula when the ornaments decay
Did we ever long to feel this way?

 

Hide

In a room like a holding cell
The crowd familiar though you couldn't tell
One by one, they begin to shout
But I can't get into it, I can't get out

Hear what somebody said
There's a voice inside your head
A prisoner of fear
In a castle you defend
Always harder to pretend
Than disappear

On the wall like a photograph
When three words later they begin to laugh
Heads are turning and I feel the heat
But there's no consolation staring at my feet

Every time revolutions fade
Celebrate the way that you were made
When the words are a barricade
Never falter, never be afraid

Somebody said to me
Only a flood will set you free
When barriers are clear
Like a padlock you ignore
What is the combination for?

Every time revolutions fade
Celebrate the way that you were made
When the words are a barricade
Never falter, never be afraid
Concentrate and your tongue is tied
Liberation save you from inside
Door is open wide
Show your face, don't need a place to hide
Show your face, don't need a place to hide

Celebrate the way
You declare the day
Believe the right
To moderate the night

 

Relative


He climbs out of the limo
Into the stare of a chaperone
And a voice I barely recognize
Is trading money on the phone
I wonder if he'll notice me
And the envy on my face
Infant in my fascination
Longing for his place

Whatever reason you can give
For the way you choose to live
It doesn't matter in the end
Everything is relative
For every poor man with disease
There's a rich man on his knees
A sinner, one who can't forgive
Everything is relative

I'm waiting at the traffic light
In my Deutsches autocar
When he stumbles through the interstreet
Drinking poison from a jar
He wonders if I'll notice him
And the tears upon his face
Soaked in his predestination
Longing for my place

Whatever reason you can give
For the way you choose to live
It doesn't matter in the end
Everything is relative
For every poor man with disease
There's a rich man on his knees
A sinner, one who can't forgive
Everything is relative

The blades are always greener
On the other side of fate
But only relativity
Can differences create

Whatever reason you can give
For the way you choose to live
It doesn't matter in the end
Everything is relative
For every poor man with disease
There's a rich man on his knees
A sinner, one who can't forgive
Everything is relative

 

Simplicity

Transition from the airwaves to the ground
Too many voices in the room to believe the sound
Token soldier of the ultrasonic rage
Press the buttons and you fail to turn the page

Simple in the way you modernize
Simple vision without compromise

Transfusion of a dream into your bloodstream
Combination holy water and amphetamine
Artificial as a polyphonic ring
Temporary and it doesn't change a thing

Simple chemistry within your brain
Simple pleasure in some other vein

Elemental way of life
Only time defending it
Don't complicate simplicity

Elemental way of life
Only time depends on it
Accentuate simplicity

Don't understate it
The beating of this life machine
Rhythm silent
Take you to a world you've never seen

Don't complicate simplicity
Don't complicate simplicity

Elemental way of life
Only time defending it
Don't complicate simplicity

Elemental way of life
Only time depends on it
Predestinate simplicity

 

The Liquid State of Life

If the future could be cut to stone
Or pulled across the sky
Then all would be predictable
No need to prophesy

In the liquid state of life
Understand, equate
In the liquid state of life
Ever deviate
In the liquid state of life
Compromise your aim
In the liquid state of life
Never be the same again

If visions were to crystallize
Or vanish into haze
Then tomorrow would be time ago
No more uncertain days

Where are you treading now?
The passage so unclear
Don't wallow in the tide
Or drown in your own fear

In the liquid state of life
Changes course with ease
In the liquid state of life
Shifting by degrees
In the liquid state of life
Once you join the game
In the liquid state of life
Never be the same again

 

XRV

There is a fallacy beyond your shield
A fabrication you can't reconcile
When all around you crumbles like a brittle tie

And the way you keep yourself concealed
Is like a vacant threat beside that certain smile
When deep inside you rings a tone you can't deny

Interior illumination
I may be blind but I can see
With XRV

Code violated
Exposure created
Soul separated

Imaginary screen that you hide behind
Is like a window with the curtains pulled aside
When high above you angry shells begin to fly

And I can beat the static in your mind
Into the place where truth and sin collide
When far below you revelations fail to die

If you're looking for a reason
I can show you all I see
With XRV

Imagination
Alienation
Disintegration
Open resistance
Shallow existence
Torture so intense

Unite the waves I generate
There is no form I cannot penetrate
If only you could see the pain I feel in you
A mirror to your soul is free
Without a trace of vanity
I'll share with you the mastery
Reveal your agony
With XRV
My XRV

Divine intervention
A vision extension
With pure intention
Lie dominating
Reanimating
Mind liberating
